$131 may seem high, but the MLB sets ticket prices for the playoffs I believe. The cheapest tickets for Detroit in the ALCS were $100. So not much difference so that can't be used as an excuse for lack of attendence.

Now that price disparity is much much bigger for regular season games.

Pistons weren't expected to be good thats why not many go, the Red Sox are always supposed to be playoff bound but choked out like Latrell did to PJ. Also Detroit fans are classy, probably some of the best in the country.

It's also unrealistic to compare the New York market to Detroit's. I don't know how many more people live withing an hour commute, but I'm sure it's a lot more than Detroit's. Any way you slice it, I would be embarrased if I were a Yankee fan. No way should their attendence be this terrible for the ALCS and ALDS.

They're clearly spoiled.

Eh...more people would rather watch the Jets or the Giants or enjoy the 70 degree weather than schlep up to the Bronx and shell out the dough to watch the Yankees not hit. Can't say I blame 'em.

it is very bad the price of games. how much is parking elsewhere? The lot we park in across the street is 50? I believe. I forget my brother paid last time

This year I did the fan club Yankee Universe. For $300 I got two field level MVP seats and all this other stuff (sweatshirt and some junk) but the seats are normally 325$ a piece to be that low behind the plate so I basically got a deal on that. My brother did it as well and they actually messed up his order so he got 4 seats for the same price!

Back in old Yankee Stadium they had a deal where it was 4 Upper Deck Tickets, 4 Hot Dogs, 4 Drinks, 4 Small bags of chips, and a Yankee Yearbook for $60. We only needed 3 seats, but the deal was too good to pass up.

Well, they sent us our 4 Tickets, and coupons for 16 Hot Dogs, 16 Drinks, 16 Small bags of chips, and 4 Yankee Yearbooks. About $300 worth of stuff.

And that game it was 100 degrees+ out. Lets just say, 16 free drinks come in handy when it's that hot. We ended up giving some of the hot dogs to the people around us, because it's not easy to eat that many hot dogs when it's that hot out.
